Reddit clients are shutting down because they naïvely used the third-party-only API, and now Reddit is cutting off the "official" API. Don't use third-party-only "official" APIs. Do whatever the first-party client or a web browser does. (I rarely tweet these days. Hi!)

Twitter has disabled third-party client API tokens. Twitter has demonstrated why we should only develop with protocols/APIs that the first-party stuff uses. Don't use third-party-only APIs. Even if we do everything they ask, they'll still use it as a weapon to screw us later.

I’d only been using Twitter once a day since losing third party clients, so I’m following the RTs and replies using the Twitter mobile website on my phone. I’m enjoying the overwhelming jank of this experience the same way people were enjoying Gollum last week.

Twitter has now also cut off access to RSS readers. That's how I was still reading new tweets. With both third-party clients and external readers cut off, it's not looking good. I'll try the new Tweetdeck, but I'm not optimistic.

I'd stopped using Twitter on phone, and I've only posted 1 or 2 non-reply tweets in the last few months. Cohost was a bust, but Mastodon, which I've been using for several years, is going fine. It's not a 1:1 replacement. What I'm now worried about: missing out on JP artists.

Any Logic Pro users on Twitter know if there's a way to solve this piano roll jank? Last time I used Logic was years ago. When dragging a note in the piano roll, mouse moves are ignored for the first 200 milliseconds. Makes using the piano roll flaky & frustrating. (video)

I've been using Twitter for over 15 years. I relied on third-party clients to use Twitter since 2007. Cutting off officially allowed clients, and then lying and saying that they were against the rules all along in a public statement, is scummy, untrustworthy, and frightening.

I can't tell you how big of a deal it is that Twitter has cut off third-party clients. Twitter would have failed in its first 2 years of life if there weren't third-party clients. blog.iconfactory.com/2023/01… Twitterrific invented the word "tweet," and used a blue bird for its logo

Twitterrific: End of an Era • The Breakroom

Twitterrific has been discontinued. A sentence that none of us wanted to write, but have long felt would need to be written someday. We didn’t expect to be writing it so soon, though, and certainly...

Early Twitter was a blank canvas. Third-party Twitter clients invented most of the good Twitter features: image uploads, hash tags, replies. Twitter is a traitorous, hostile organization. They lied in their public statement about enforcing existing API rules.

Twitter cut off third-party clients & lied in public statements after. I'm withdrawing from this site & won't be active here much. Get me on these other, cooler places instead: Mastodon @[email protected] merveilles.town/@cancel Cohost cohost.org/tumult

Supreme Court's 2021 ruling of Van Buren vs USA confirmed that EULAs + the CFAA alone can't make it a criminal act to access a system with a third-party client. Twitter "banning" third party clients in a license doesn't mean jack, but the third-party-only API is now shut off.

Or maybe it's just their code bugging out. Moving to a new platform is a huge pain in the butt. But if this site is the only way I had of communicating with you... I really want to see you somewhere else.

Unfortunately, a lot of the Japanese artists I follow are tethered to their followers here. Same with a lot of art stuff in other countries & languages. I encourage you to set up an account on Mastodon and cross-post to it, anyway.

Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some apps not working.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Currently it's all major third party clients not some. Also, it is unknown what long standing rules have been broken as no guidance has been provided to any API partner. And as the tweet notes, these rules have not changed. 9to5mac.com/2023/01/17/twi… developer.twitter.com/en/developer-t….
